Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
Went through a few rounds with the credit group leads, then a final super day. Mostly behavioral talks until the super day, had about 4-5 chats before that. Some technical stuff, but the super day was a case study. Had to present a case study to MDs.

Behavioral Technical
Applied through an employee referral and had a first interview with two people from the peer team, which went well. After I followed up two weeks later, I was invited to meet the hiring manager and their manager, which also went well. Since I didn't hear back, I followed up again after two weeks and was invited to meet two more people and HR, which also went well. Waited for feedback and received none; only a voicemail from one of the interviewers weeks later stating I am neither selected nor rejected, and nothing else! Was terribly disappointed after going through six different interviews only to hear an inconclusive feedback from them.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you describe a time you resolved a difficult situation with a trader or colleague?
